When Inter Milan defeated Roma 3-2 at home, it meant that this season's Serie A championship battle had come to an end six rounds ahead of schedule. Now Inter Milan leads Roma by a full 21 points. Such a huge advantage has also created
A record in Serie A.
"This is an unprecedentedly powerful Inter Milan team. If Dick wants to win the Triple Crown this season, then he has now achieved one... They have entered the semi-finals of the Champions League and their opponent is AC Milan.
, the Italian Cup entered the final, and the opponent was Roma - however, these two teams were double-killed by them in the league. If nothing unexpected happens, Inter Milan seems to have entered the Champions League final for the second time in a row.
There will be no problem... Can they become the first team to win the Triple Crown in Italy so far? Now it seems that it is infinitely close, very possible. What we are focusing on now is the next round of the league,
Will Inter Milan let their main players appear in this round of the league in order to break the winning streak? You must know that they will face AC Milan in the middle of the week. However, the creation of such a record is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. For Dick,
This seems to be a very difficult choice..."
However, in fact, for Dick, this choice was not difficult at all.
He wants to break the record, and to ensure more physical fitness and condition to play AC Milan, he also wants to achieve it, and he does not think that the next league opponent, Siena, ranked in the second half of the standings, will have any impact on Inter Milan
The impact, even if Inter Milan sends a substitute, is the strongest substitute in Europe, and it is definitely not something Siena can stop.
In fact, although Siena really wanted to cause some trouble for Inter Milan, they were unable to do so. They relied on Cruz and Di Natale, a substitute striker combination that is not inferior to any Serie A team.
With one goal, Inter Milan defeated Siena 2-1 in the away game, setting a new record of 26 consecutive victories!
"Europe's winning streak record has been refreshed at this moment! Twenty-six consecutive wins! It belongs to Serie A and to Inter Milan! Is this kind of winning streak that happened after Calciopoli the glory of Serie A, or is it proof of Serie A's decline?
But for Inter Milan, such a record belongs to them, and it is undoubtedly very brilliant. Whether Serie A is glorious or declining has nothing to do with them. After creating such a record, they can finally put it down.
My focus is entirely on the Champions League..."
“For Inter Milan’s opponent in the Champions League, the local team AC Milan, such a game is also very stressful, because before, both Milan teams were the top teams in the world, but what about now?
In the league, although AC Milan has returned to the fourth position, their points are only 53 points, while Inter Milan's points have reached a full 90 points! The gap is close to 40 points, even if it is because of AC Milan
The reason for being deducted eight points is that this is also an extremely huge gap. In the history of the Milan derby, there has rarely been such a big gap between the two teams... I forgot to mention that Inter Milan is also very different this season.
It is possible to create a new points record since Serie A implemented the three-point system. As long as they score more than ten points in the next six rounds, their points will reach three digits!"
For the game against Siena, Dick only brought 18 players to the away game, and all the other main players stayed in Milan to rest. After all, AC Milan is now focusing all its attention on the league. They also sent out players in the last round of the league.
He has made all the substitutes, and there is no problem with physical fitness. Although AC Milan is not in very good shape this season, the performance of a group of veterans in the Champions League is still top-notch. If you don't pay attention, they may capsize in the gutter.
, Dick didn’t want to become a victim of Ancelotti’s efforts to save his character.
AC Milan is indeed very low-key right now. In fact, the phone call is not a big deal for them. After all, they have not been relegated, nor have they lost the opportunity to participate in the Champions League. The eight-point gap is not that big.
It is extremely big, so before the start of the season, many AC Milan fans confidently said, "Actually, the gap between us and Inter Milan is only two points, because we will win two Milan derbys." When the season just started.
Their performance was also good. They once won a winning streak and shortened the two-point gap between them and Inter Milan. However, in the next game, Inter Milan started their crazy winning streak, while AC Milan began to fall off the chain repeatedly.
…
After Christmas, Galliani's words about "overtaking Inter Milan at Christmas" became a laughing stock. At this time, AC Milan began to focus more on the Champions League, because although AC Milan
Without Shevchenko, the introduction of Oliveira was unreliable, which caused their overall combat capabilities to begin to decline. However, they were still able to show strong strength in a single game and were able to play two away games.
The victory over Bayern is a good example. In certain games, AC Milan can still display its top abilities.
For these two semi-finals, Ancelotti has been preparing for a long time. Although he cannot have any advantage in physical fitness and the bench is not as thick as Inter Milan, such games only focus on the players on the field. AC Milan can still
They came up with a pretty competitive lineup.
Because he had already played for Real Madrid in the Champions League in the first half of the season, Ronaldo, who joined in the winter, could not play. However, Ancelotti did not care much about this. Inzaghi performed well at the Allianz Arena in his last game.
Although he is old, as long as AC Milan has him on the front line, they will not worry about not scoring goals!
"It is impossible for us to win the championship in the league this season, but we still have a chance in the Champions League." Ancelotti said before the game started.
"AC Milan is indeed very competitive in the Champions League, but a double play in the league will give us more confidence." Dick replied.
In a game like this, the pre-game war of words no longer means much. After all, both sides know the truth and there is no need to hide anything. This is often where the highlights of such games in European competitions lie.
Although he knew the basics, Dick had done a lot of preparation before the game.
"Guys, you have to know that before this game, although we won two games against AC Milan, at the beginning of the second half of the season, their minds were obviously no longer in the league. The nearly 40-point point difference doesn't mean anything. We have to
What they do is to treat this game as an important game. Of course, this game is indeed very important... AC Milan can get to this point because of their counterattack. This is true in the knockout round.
It was obvious in the first round. Facing the Celtics who also defended and counterattacked, their performance was quite average. If it weren't for Inzaghi's stoppage time goal, they would have been eliminated. But against Bayern
Their counterattack tactics were excellent. At AC Milan's home court, if Van Buyten hadn't been lucky enough to score two goals, Bayern would have lost in the away game. And when they returned to Bayern's home court, they were even worse.
Relying on counterattacks and grabbing points brings this ability to the extreme! Such defensive counterattack tactics are somewhat disadvantageous to us. After all, we are better at attacking rather than defending. As a result, our defense will have many problems.
They can take advantage of it. But don't worry, when it comes to offensive ability, no team in Europe can be better than us. Even if their defense is also very strong, they will be torn apart by us! Don't worry about whether we will be there.
Conceding goals at home, it is enough for us to score more goals than AC Milan! Nesta is prone to injuries, Maldini is old, and although their central defender partner is strong, it is not without their areas that can be exploited, with constant impact.
Tear open their defense line, attack from both wings, and use passes to increase the pressure on their back line! Attack them, their average age is not young, and their physical fitness also has certain problems, even if they had a good rest before
, however, if the game is dragged into high-intensity, they will still be exhausted towards the end of the game, not to mention that the next game will be a week later, if they are too tired in this game.
If so, we will have more advantages in the next game. We have the physical fitness and condition, so we must make this advantage even better!"
Before the game started, Dick made it clear what needed to be paid attention to in this game. The most important thing was that he asked the players not to worry about conceding goals in the game. If they want to play the characteristics of Inter Milan, they have to
A bold attack in the game, and AC Milan happens to have very good experience in defensive counterattacks. Under such circumstances, Inter Milan's defense will definitely be impacted, and conceding the ball is not a rare thing.
If there are any unnecessary emotions, it will be of no benefit to the entire team. If the players understand this in advance, they will perform better during the game.
Although after defeating Chelsea, Inter Milan's opponents in the Champions League relatively have many weaknesses that can be exploited. However, after all, this is a Champions League game, and even ordinary teams will show their weaknesses in such circumstances.
In a better state than usual, if you are careless, it may cause more serious consequences.
AC Milan's front line is quite sluggish this season. Gilardino is not in good condition, Oliveira is proven to be a parallel import, and Inzaghi is not always able to play. However, under such circumstances, Kaká's ability has been
Played to the limit, his dribbling and breakthrough abilities in counterattacks were fully demonstrated. The forwards opened up gaps for him. He used speed and technology to attack the opponent's defense. This season was actually Kaka's season.
, for this player, Dick will naturally have to deal with it well, even if he will go downhill next. However, it is indeed not an easy task to stop him in the most glorious season before the downturn.
"I'm sorry Kaka, I will deprive you of this Champions League... But if you choose to work for me in the future, maybe I will let you get some compensation..." Dick thought secretly in his heart, but he
I know that this idea of mine is unlikely to become a reality, because Kaka will definitely decline in the future, and it will be difficult for Kaka to recover with his ability, so this is just a talk...
